This is very kind of you CATBOAT!
I know of a couple right here in Prattville that lost there homes in Biloxi and New Orleans. They are staying with some friends of mine. There are about 8 of them, staying with a family of 5 in a 3 bedroom house.

Today, a friend of mine was at the McDonald's out by the interstate. There was a family from Lousianna that climbed out of a car. 11 people came out of the one car. 3 small children, an infant and 7 adults. They were looking for a shelter. There are NO shelters in Prattville open. I couldn't beleive it when I called the Mayors office looking for help for these people.
The mayors office said I should direct them back to Montgomery to Frazer, or on to Birmingham. This family was stranded, no money for gas.
The manager at McDonald's fed them, and watched as they asked for change for hours. They needed gas, and when they got enough money for gas, went across the street to the Racetrac.
The manager said hurricane victims had been in and out of there all day looking for a shelter. This was so sad to me. Prattville is a booming town, and we can't even open ONE shelter? With all the churches and organizations we have, not one shelter. Sad huh?

I will be sure to tell my friend (whom you probably know,....they own a local paint store in town) about your offer. I don't know what lies ahead for the people they have in their home, but I am sure it would be nice to know there is someone out there like you.
